Download Silence and Beauty: Hidden Faith Born of Suffering AudioBook Free
Nowadays of pain and fighting, God often seems silent. But light is yet within darkness, and silence speaks with invisible beauty and real truth. Shusaku Endo's book Silence, first shared in 1966, endures as one of the biggest works of 20th-century Japanese books. Its narrative of the persecution of Christians in 17th-century Japan increases uneasy questions about God and the ambiguity of beliefs amid suffering and hostility. Endo's Silence required visual artist Makoto Fujimura over a pilgrimage of grappling with the nature of art, the importance of pain, and his own cultural heritage. His artistic faith voyage overlaps with Endo's as he uncovers profound layers of interpretation in Japanese record and literature, portrayed in fine art both history and present. He locates relationships to how beliefs is resided amid stress and glimpses of the way the Gospel is conveyed in Christ-hidden ethnicities.
